Rear Wing - Whats your opinion on this?
OK, so there really aren't many good looking wings out there. Heck, even Greenwood put out a strange looking wing for the C5. But what are your thoughts on this one? Its been around for a little while but I haven't seen one C5 with it.

Your car. Your money. Your choice.
And the ricer comments that come out of most people here is the most hypocritical joke I have yet to see on a forum.
If you like it, get it. If you are going to rely on other peoples opinion, don't.

Zilla! LMAO! BTW, I had to steal some of your IMG's, I hope you don't mind!
As for the tail, it depends on what you have going on up front. I think a high rise hood would warrant a tail/wing. That one isn't too bad ... not a shopping cart looking wing. I would say if you really like it, it's your car, your money, blah blah blah ... You should look at the Caravggio fins as well, if you haven't already. Then make your decision. I'm looking at a high rise hood and considering a Carvaggio to finish the look. Good luck!
Don't let anyone make your mind up for you.

Sorry - but the only wings I like personally are the ones I get at Hooter's. (You mean they serve food there? 
)
As the others said - it's your car - do what you want, but I can think of a lot of other things I'd rather have for $439...JMHO, of course!

It's your car and your cash. If you like it do it, dont let someone else form your opinions.
But since you asked, no way would I put that on my car.
Good luck with your decision.

I think you said it best, "there really aren't many good looking wings out there". To me this one also falls in that category. Like all the others I've seen for C5s, they just break up the lines of the car.
Unless you have a C5R, drive in excess of 100mph most of the time, and have a wing that is engineered for the racing properties of the car - they are just appearance add-ons that add weight and drag (not downforce) that will slow your car down.
But it's your car.
